Subject: Not forgotten
I do not watch these films here in the archive only to check the quality of some of the older TV shows. I download them and post them to my YouTube Channel. The quality is always great and it is sad that so many folks don't even know who James Dean was! He had a tragic end, as others have had as well, but there is something about his work and willingness to be involved in the StudioOne programs, even when you miss him.

Thanks for the documentary!

Subject: Great Film Ruined with too much buffering!
I stayed with it for a time but the buffering in the film which I have addressed before was a hiderance to contemplation of James Dean's unique personality. A real loss of him and this film I never got to see the end of!
